Short description Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία

Σπόνδυλοι: 35 - 36. This species differs from M. aureum by having the last abdominal spine reaching the anal-fin origin or almost so (vs. last abdominal spine clearly separated from the anal-fin origin), vertebrae 35-36 (vs. 38-39), and a conspicuous black blotch on opercle (vs. no black blotch or inconspicuous); differs from M. albiscopum by anal-fin with branched rays 26-32 (vs. 31-38); differs from M. unimaculatum by having circumpeduncular scales 30-34 (vs. 34-40), perforated scales on lateral line 74-98 (vs. 95-110) and vertebrae 35-36 (vs. 37) (Ref. 117280).

Reported to be an herbivore fish, which is highly dependent from the floodplains and of great economic importance for both commercial and sport fisheries (Ref. 117280).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02512 (0.01329 - 0.04746), b=3.03 (2.86 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Τροφικό Επίπεδο (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.36 se; based on food items.

Ελαστικότητα (Ref. 120179): Υψηλό, ελάχιστος χρόνος για διπλασιασμό πληθυσμού < 15 μήνες (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (21 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 110 [51, 257] mg/100g; Iron = 1.53 [0.77, 3.44] mg/100g; Protein = 17.7 [15.7, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.393 [0.149, 1.113] g/100g; Selenium = 89.5 [34.0, 207.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 28.6 [9.3, 83.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.84 [1.23, 2.68] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
